great job so far!

You dont have to drill out those spot welds on the bottom of the frame rail. only on top and where the rain gutter on the firewall meets the rail

actually, after looking at it, it looks easier that way..hmmm lol

im sure hes joking around? he owns a DB himself.

 

awesome. This is something I want to do eventually in my lifetime.

Subscribed.

 

lookin good. NOW COME HELP ME WITH MINE!!!!

 

you used the wrong kind of drill bit homie... theres a spot weld cutter bit that cuts around the weld so when you go to put everything back on you have some material to weld to.



as you can see in my pic there are no holes on the frame tabs. all you have to do is grind off the spot weld and you have a flat surface to spot weld the rhd firewall to.



i wish you a fun experience though.. mine was
